My interest is in how you can get the most out of those communications. How do you make information accessible to the guy who just got his first cell phone and waits in line for slow Internet at a cybercafe?<br /><br />If the World Wide Web is truly universal then it can&#39;t solely be preoccupied with the First World. It must accommodate the needs of the Third World as well. <br /><br />I welcome cynics and devil&#39;s advocates. Entertaining them is the only way to implement idealism.Jean-Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011047613208654857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491518796561080210.post-50734555014584187542010-04-27T19:22:46.780-06:002010-04-27T19:22:46.780-06:00Apwoyo dugu.

People the world over can now, in theory, access almost all knowledge with little more than an internet connection. We&#39;ve already seen in Google&#39;s debacle in China that authoritarian regimes are scared of the democratizing power of the internet, but the technology can&#39;t be held back forever, and we&#39;ve already seen, in our time in Uganda, just how empowering cell phones and even slow internet connections are. It&#39;s more possible than ever for like-minded people the world over to find each other and band together. We can only hope it leads to greater awareness and positive movements for social good. The cynic in me could tell you my reservations, but the idealist looks forward to you expounding on and exploring the possible in this very space.<br /><br />Webale emirimu, ssebo.Oyathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467361735243451259noreply@blogger.com
